The Wizard Of Oz

This is my latest project hot off the press. Each 8x8 canvas has been painted then a 6x6 image on from a Graphic 45 paper has been put on. Then I added buttons and a metal charm to each one (except the 'friends' one, which will be added when I find one).
I really enjoyed doing these so watch this space for more.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

This is a mirror I create for my Auntie, she's very girlie so I thought this would be ideal for her. The bird cages are stamped onto a painted pine mirror, then I added tiny gems to accent the birds and embellish the bare corners. To finish it I covered the mirror with a square of card and sprayed it with Spray and Shine from Crafters Companion. (I love that stuff)

Steampunk Bag

This is a little experiment of mine. The bag started life as the gold bag in the little picture. Not really me so I thought I'd alter it to my liking. I used shredded purple tissue paper that has been stamped using some of my steampunk stamps. After this was completely dry I addded a few metal cogs and clock hands. I also made a funky steampunk bag charm using chain, cogs, clock hands, metal tea pots and purple pearls.

Ive been playing with my new camera and here are some of my favourite pictures.

Grungeboard Bracelets

These are two of my grungeboard bracelets.
The blue one is made of rectangles linked with jump rings and a lobster clasp.
The pink one is a single strip of grungeboard with a small push through knob to hold it together.
I love making them because they are easy yet really effective.

Sock Creations

I've been a bit busy of late, but these are my latest creations. I'd like to introduce you to Frankenstein's bunny, Floral and Pink the piggies. These three little cuties are made using little socks and a few funky buttons. I've had a book full of ideas for sock characters and I'm planning on getting the sequel too.
It was touch and go there for a while though I made the mistake of letting my twins take the piggies to nursery the day after I made them. I arrived later that day to collect the twins and the piggies to find number one daughter holding the inners of Floral and sobbing about the rest of the piggy being missing. We found the outer sock of Floral on a shelf in the nursery. Panic over I think to find number two daughter grinning at me minus Pink. When I asked where Pink was the response was, 'I've lost it but you can make me another Mummy!' Thankfully the nursery teachers managed to find Pink and she was returned to us the next day. Kids who'd have them??????

Stampotique Bag

This is my new funky bag. Using Stampotique stamps and a blank bag.
Everyone commented on it at a recent night out and a few people have asked me to make them one!
